looks like you did a good job, but i just dont understand the appeal of fake carbon fiber? its like putting stickers on your car for parts you dont own (a.k.a ricey?)

Well, the seat backs needed to be freshened.. the Cf look that I did was around $100 in materials..

to get Cf on the seat backs was around $700+

I can think of SEVERAL things to spend my $600 saved dollars on

this adds a subtle look to the car and interior..

I think it looks good. I didn't know anyone was making CF seat backs either.

I don't think it's ricing it out, more of a personlization.

while i understand your point, its also pretty common for the plastics in alot the c4s that live outside(like mine) that the plastics fade and age. so instead of buying 300 worth of oem plastics, searching 100 hrs for nice used ones, or spending $100 and refreshing the look yourself at home, i think he did killer.

i dont see the problem with it at all.

I don't know....I think it's more imaginative than tatooing a C4 emblem on your back. I think it looks great!

Looks great, never seen that on another one before which makes me like it even more, way to be creative. Do you have the carbon look anywhere else? I think some subtle touches other places in the interior would really pull it together.
